I would like to see at least a few pictures with the article. But I also understand that bandwidth is an issue.

is it illegal to host all your pics (while in the forum) on tinypic.com?
then its not your bandwidth, and you'd be posting as a forum member if its in the first reply.

I was more referring to having pictures in the main review. I think your idea is great.
Or we could have a link to the forum topic for said game and those usually have a lot of pictures and video in their first few posts.

I've tried to get them to acknowledge the rest of the forums in the official site post, but that has seemed to be a lost cause.

I suggested pics/video in the first reply because he just said they don't allow them in the official review.

Or how about a link to the Preview which might have had video and/or pics included in it?

I added a boxart, so you should see it in the game profile and in the review :).

Wait they don't?  Can I ask why?   Thats not cool. Do you know how often I jump from headlines to screen shots?  Every article I've ever looked at on the front page of NWR I'm like, WTF where is the media!? Then I go to IGN.

If we get the media for a game then we usually post up the media. I or my fellow staff members do it when we get media from the publishers. And since I'm helping Neal out with the weekly releases, I also find boxarts if the site doesn't have it so don't worry we are covering media as much as we can.

NWR 2.0 will have a much bigger focus on displaying media. I know you've heard that line before, but at some point soon it will be upon us.

If this review is any indication, you're more likely to get flak for overrating a game.

I can't imagine who told Pedro that images aren't allowed in reviews.  That's never been a site policy, to my knowledge.  In fact, we have one review from LONG AGO that was just one big image.  Our reviews don't show screens by default because the site is not formatted that way.  That will be changing soon, and it's long overdue.

Regarding this game... it sounds like the rhythm boxing mini-game in Wii Fit.  I don't get the appeal of an entire game based around that one activity.

Good, because reviews can really help a review. Not only do they let you point out something in the game (when it can be difficult to explain in words), they also let readers see what the game looks like.

You mean a review of a review? Now that is groundbreaking. We should implement it. :D

I realize that I may be overly enthusiastic about the game, but when I got the game I had no expectations, other than it looked fun and charming. I was honestly surprised at how in-depth and fun the exercises were and how many activities there were in the whole package. I think that for a budget title its far more robust than other titles under the same category.

I can't imagine who told Pedro that images aren't allowed in reviews.  That's never been a site policy, to my knowledge.  In fact, we have one review from LONG AGO that was just one big image.  Our reviews don't show screens by default because the site is not formatted that way.  That will be changing soon, and it's long overdue.

I don't know, since 99.9% of NWR's reviews don't have images I assume its not site policy to include them. I also thought bandwidth was an issue with the site. And I've been told that images in reviews will be made easier in the new site.

As for this game, you are right that the game is similar to that mini-game in Wii Fit. But that's the only thing you are right about.

See, in Wii Fit you only had left and right punches with some basic foot placement exercises. Gold's Gym expands on it by adding left and right jabs, uppercuts and evasive exercises which are faster paced than the punching exercises in Wii Fit and to me makes it more fun and appealing.

Which review is that?
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Just a warning.


The TRUE sequel, Shape Boxing 2, was released only in Japan.


Ubisoft's "sequel", Gold's Gym: Dance Workout, is NOT related to this game at all, and was developed in the west by a completely different development team.


I guess Ubisoft saw fit to start their own line of games instead of porting and translating.
It's a shame, because Shape Boxing 2 is really good.
